Hi Bill,
In past exhibits, we have left the language and included a disclaimer. It
might be worth pointing out that the language itself can be seen as a sort
of "exhibit," showing us how we have evolved since then.
If that does not make sense and you would like clarification, please let me
know.
Thank you,
Matt Carter
